[dees189227 10,875]

Melbourne FC ‏@melbournefc 1m

STATEMENT: The club has lodged a submission with the AFL for a priority selection in the 2014 draft.

Melbourne FC ‏@melbournefc 58s

STATEMENT: Now the submission has been lodged, it is now a matter for the AFL Commission to consider.

What so we can stuff up another pick.

[beelzebub 22,242]

dont ask...dont get

[Chook 14,594]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Pathetic and disgusting...

[What 18,810]

had to be done

Should have been granted last season

[Ted Lasso 16,903]

Had too be done, the only way this wheel turns is if we get some serious talent injected into the side

[dazzledavey36 48,942]

Unfortunately it has to be done.. rebuild through the draft and start over.

Petracca Brayshaw and Wright would be very handy.. we surely couldn't stuff that up....

Right?

[P-man 13,224]

Oh dear.

Whatever.

dont bet on it

[old dee 22,930]

Asking and receiving are two different things.

I will be very surprised if we get one.

[Bitter but optimistic 21,349]

Now we are passing the hat around. I'm embarrassed. As a football club we are absolute sh it. We cannot sink any lower. No passion no pride.

[Ted Lasso 16,903]

the case would be

37 wins in 8 years

in that time we have been coached by 7 different senior coaches

this year we have lost Clark to retirement, Frawley more than likely to free agency, so we are already down our best forward and defender in 2015

[Chook 14,594]

Had too be done, the only way this wheel turns is if we get some serious talent injected into the side

Or if we can find 40 players who would kill their own mother for a taste of victory.

[Coup Cooper 610]

The Afl will not give us a Priority Pick. We didnt get one laat year and we were an Abomination on the game!

[beelzebub 22,242]

Jackson would be lynched had he not done the diligent thing and ask.

Yes we're that bad. Yes it's embarassing Yes we need to turnover our list

Yes, this would help. Such is life...Bugger

[beelzebub 22,242]

PriorITY PICK

[PaulRB 5,978]

Last year was too close to our "tanking" findings and the Paul Roo as coach thing blurred our vision from seeing the list issue.

This year we are starting to be an embarrassment to the competition.

[old dee 22,930]

The Afl will not give us a Priority Pick. We didnt get one laat year and we were an Abomination on the game!

Versus 2014?

[Moneider96 1,045]

Umm the AFL have no reason to not give is a priority pick. Bring on pick 4!!!

[olisik 4,060]

[censored] draft anyway. Will get us nowhere. Only good part is St Kilda wont give a [censored] as we wont take McCartin.

[Striker475 696]

I agree.

[Ted Lasso 16,903]

So if frawley goes as expected we could potentially end up with picks

1, 3, 4 and 20?

i'd be pretty happy to add

Petracca

Brayshaw

Wright

Ellis

Stretch

DFA

O'keefe

PSD

Malceski

[Ted Lasso 16,903]

I don't think it's a [censored] draft, I just don't think there are many standouts

picks 1- 25 probably doesn't make all that much difference this year, there are some pretty solid players

if we have pick 1, don't be surprised if we do take McCartin I think the Key forward is still a worry for us, Dawes needs to be that third target

[JV7 2,339]

If we don't get one no club ever will

[Striker475 696]

May not be a pick 1 PP, could be an end of rd1 pick.

[wattsup 470]

It doesn't have to be a pick for us to use in the draft can't they just give us a pick that must be traded to another club, it would be a good way to keep the other clubs happy as they have a chance to get there hands on it
